Sitting here posting like your entire country wasn’t founded on (and continues to LOUDLY congratulate itself for) risking everything to bring the fight to overwhelmingly powerful and oppressive forces.
Whatever the outcome of all this is, I never want to hear a word about your beloved fucking founding fathers again.
Also very weird take. The revolution was started by the wealthy. It wasn’t some grassroots rebellion. It was backed by the authority of the individual colonial governments. So each state’s colonial government joined in to rebel. That’s a lot different than expecting some protesters to start a sustained rebellion.
To be clear my previous comment wasn’t talking about The American Revolution. It was talking about the general concept of revolutions. Historically they can work, but as I explained that’s a lofty thing to expect an individual to start
Cool. Well, I mean- take it easy. You’re probably better off maybe going to a very safe get-together downtown. You can make a snarky sign, even. Try to get the appropriate permits so you have the approval of the people you’re hoping will just relinquish power on their own- or, at very least, make sure you’re easily ignored. Whatever you do, don’t fight for what you believe in.

When have I ever worshiped those slave owners?
